A strong urge to heal the Earth and give back to the community, propelled change of tracks to join the social sector and take up ecological restoration of habitats using rewilding techniques in full earnest in 2021. Leading program ReGreen Nation at Raah Foundation, I have so far undertaken programs creating food forests on private land on 110 acres and used re-wilding techniques to restore commons. Commenced ecological restoration efforts of 750 acres, with 167,000 saplings using 200+ native indigenous species & 800,000 vetiver slips and created 125 Loose Boulder Structures for soil & moisture conservation. Using BNHS as an independent agency for biodiversity assessment and Bluesky Analytics for satellite monitoring.

The plan is to restoring 50,000 acres of barren, denuded land by 2030. Ecological restoration includes biodiversity conservation, soil and moisture conservation, creating awareness in the community, ensuring livelihood opportunities and creating governance models to sustain the ecological restoration efforts.
